    Fury looks old as ever, he has lost that defensive pep in his step, legs are nearly gone and can't get out of the way of shots anymore. No power either

    Yet AJ is scared.

    AJ doesn't know how to play the media game. All he had to do was say "Yes I will fight you" but he **** himself because he's an awkward cringe guy

    If Fury's legs are like tonight or worse then AJ can land on him and win...but AJ cannot beat Fury on his mental game alone. It's so so sooo poor.

    He looked panicked. He looked like he did in the first Ruiz fight.

    I think he expected Fury to look terrible. Fury was full of confidence and called him out. Turkey publicly said the fight happening is up to Joshua.

    All Joshua could do is meekly reply "...I...I run boxing...it will happen when I want it to..."

    He doesn't want the fight. Manicured career.

    Joshua is not destined to beat Fury, I would rather see him against Wilder...

    AJ was always afraid of Tyson. After Andy Ruiz crushed his spirit, he never really believed in himself again after that.

    Regardless of his management being afraid at times, I haven’t thought AJ to be afraid of anyone but, then…after that interview…he seemed afraid of Fury…

    He looked like a guy who didn't want to become embroiled in Fury's pantomime antics as he probably knows it will be a ridiculously difficult fight to make due to Fury's demands.

    Hearn and AJ have doubtless been here numerous times before, which is why neither got in the ring despite attempts to blindside them with some kind of 'annoucement'.

    Fury ducked AJ for 10 years. AJ just survived a major accident.

    The thread should be why Fury is scared of AJ. Probably because AJ bashed him in amateurs.

    I guess this is where all the fury cucks congregate, well I'm gate crashing to give you all a dose of reality. Fury didn't look amazing, he was in the with a clumsy sloth and got taken 12 rounds. Unfortunately for you lot he will be found out in his latest comeback and since you are all as slow as Makhmusloth let me get you upto speed. Hearn has lost Benn and doesn't plan on falling for Turkis plot of announcing the fight without an offer being made because Hearn wants the leverage, incase you didn't realise there is a power play taking place. Also, Fury isn't as elusive as you think which is why the bum wilder was able to land on him multiple times, The russian sloth who looks a worse boxer than TKV!!! Was able to land so be patient you will get to see AJ bash fury up but until then you think of the excuses you will use...
